Title: Watching HerFandom: Angel: the Series, HeroesPairing: one sided Angel/Claire, mentions of Buffy/AngelRating: PG-13Timeline: Before S1 of Angel and somewhere in S2 of HeroesWord Count: 106Disclaimer: I don't own Angel, Heroes or any of it's characters.Summary: Angel watches Claire.A/N: I've been wanting to write something for them for awhile now but this is what I got. Hopefully my muse will cooperate and give me something a little less creepy and angsty later. But for now this is all I have. Anyway feedback is appreciated.

Angel watched the blonde cheerleader from afar. Some might say it was creepy or even that he was a stalker. But he had his reasons. The last person he let himself love, he hurt. He didn’t want to do that to her. Her family caused her enough pain already. She didn’t need him adding to it. Sometimes when he saw the pain she was in he just wanted to tell her that someone did love her but he knew he couldn’t. It was too much of a risk. So he’d continue watching her, loving her, from afar. Hoping that someday he could take that pain away.
